To be honest I have tried DHL and now TNT Worldshop and they suck! I thought it would be different than Aramex but guess what! they are worse!

TNT claims that you get your shipment within 3 days.. I got mine after 7 days! They charge more than aramex for customs – KD2!

There price might seem cheaper but its more expensive and very unprofessional in dealing with customers… the owner claims that if you do not use ur account for 2 months they will automatically cancel it and give ur spot to someone else!

I say stick with Aramex even though they are late sometimes… but very professional in dealing with your queries! Go aramex

Quick Update

DHL just decided to ship my so-called “prohibited” video-games and Blurays including the ones I ordered LAST YEAR!!

TOO LITTLE TOO LATE!!

**IMPORTANT**

Confirmed DHL WILL NOT SHIP ANY VIDEO GAME that contains “violence”, which is basically 95% of the games these days!

Here is the E-mail I got from them…I have ordered Heavy Rain and Battlefield Bad Company 2 for the PS3 so I had to re-order them again using Aramex this time….120$ down the drain :(

I think Easyshop is following the Saudi or the Emarati restrictions on Videogames, for there is no restrictions on ((VIOLENT)) games in Kuwait.
________________________________________________

*Actual DHL Email*

Please advise us the video game name and description, also please note as per policy if the video games contain any violence we will not be able to move the shipment.

How ever I have requested easyshop to advise us on the same.

DHL is officially DEAD in my book, and there is no way in hell I will EVER use their shitty service again.

They actually stopped a shipment which had a PS3 game!!! Heavy Rain if you are wondering, and it seems they are doing this completely by random, just few days back I received 2 copies of Dante`s Inferno and that game has an M rating! and before that they refused to ship a bluray for the movie The Hangover!

I’m so disgusted and I just want everyone out there to know that DHL WILL BLOCK YOUR SHIPMENTS WHENEVER THEY LIKE AND FOR NO LOGICAL REASONS.
I prefer to wait 10 more days with Aramex than to have my Games-DVDs-books not shipped at all!

If only we can get organized and show them were not to be fucked with. This is getting out of hand and I for one am sick and tired of this BS.

This says it all. I am beginning a website. That site will grow daily with people who are fed up with big business killing the littly guy. How many billions in profit do these fn companies need? I will post this website in less then 2 weeks. I will inform the address on this message board. Then my friends, slowly but surely we the people will take back control from these money sucking greedy execs who want to steal our last dime so they can continue buying BMWs and mansions in beverly hills. Spread the word. From shipping companies to retailers, change is coming. Change from a president? From your elected officials? Get real. Its not coming unless we make it happen ourselves. One at a time, everyone who visits the website makes a committment to stop using the service, product, or whatever. This will grow exponsntially until those greedy fks are either forced out of business, give us our money back, or change their business practices with an apology that better be more then just empty words.

Hey guys, i got charged K.D. 32 for a Canon Rebel XSi DSLR, i bought from amazon. The funny part is that package only weighs 2.2 kg. They don’t have any tax mentioned in the ministry’s clearance form. They say they have paid K.D. 17.5 to the customs, but don’t have any official receipt. They just have one paper prepared by dhl which mentions these charges. In my tracking account i was told it would come to K.D. 21. I am wondering why there is too much difference?

Personally, instead of just indulging on the things I wanted, I decided I would only purchase stuff I “needed.” I decided not to purchase anymore cloths, dvds, magazines etc. because i really dont need them.
So if you want to be happy about the situation we’re in, then stop shipping stuff you don’t need.
Plain and simple.
And if you “need” something, you won’t be bothered all that much for paying a few extra bucks in the end.
